We will continuously train all our staff in sustainability up to 2030.
A structured training programme that covers various aspects of sustainability and is offered to all staff at all levels enables basic knowledge to be acquired and sharpens the corporate culture. This can include both internal training and external training resources. You can provide training materials, online courses and workshops to continuously train staff.
Carry out an impact evaluation after the training by talking to participants about their experiences with sustainability in day-to-day work. Based on this feedback, take measures to systematically embed sustainability in the company. To ensure that sustainability training leads to continuous progress, you can integrate sustainability into staff development processes. This can be achieved, for example, by setting sustainability targets, regularly measuring progress and recognising commitment and development processes.
Creating an internal network of experts helps to share knowledge and experience in sustainability within the company. Staff with expertise in this area can act as mentors to support their colleagues and promote awareness of sustainability. Regular knowledge sharing, meetings and training courses can help to strengthen this network.
Education and training in the financial sector is vital to establish sustainability in the Swiss financial system. Given the ambitious goals of the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Climate Agreement, there is an urgent need to build sustainability expertise. The continuous training of all staff, particularly the Board of Directors, Executive Board, management, portfolio management and client advisers on risks, opportunities, impacts and trends related to sustainability in general (including global warming, biodiversity), sustainability in the financial institution, sustainability in the investment sector, corporate lending and mortgage sector, additional trends and topics make it possible to achieve the investment and financing targets.
